    Summary

    Mike is burning up, inside and out.

    Externally, there’s a bubbling burn wound carved across his shoulder— but, to be honest, a simple injury is the least of his worries. He’s more concerned with the aggravating, endlessly-perplexing internal dilemma that’s been plaguing his mind for God knows how long; why is he completely incapable of acting normal around Will?

    Every time he sees Will— or even dares to look him in the eye— Mike feels this sort of fire burning deep in his chest, hot and all-consuming and completely inexplicable. And, no matter how hard he tries, Mike just can’t figure it out;

    What is wrong with him?

    (or; Mike has no idea why his heart starts to race around Will. It takes a near-death, some close encounters, and a few aggressive-but-caring talks from Jonathan for him to figure it out.)

    Summary

    All of Mike’s joints are killing him (metaphorically). Pain isn’t new and neither is this kind, but the fact it’s every joint lessens everything.

    Will is asleep next to him and Mike doesn’t want to wake him but wakes him anyway. Or maybe it’s a coincidence, as Will also wakes in pain.

    It’s just them at 2 a.m., taking care of each other the best ways they can.

    Summary

    He wants to get angry at Hopper again. There is so much blame and Mike can feel himself brimming over with it. If only there was someone to place it on, someone who truly deserved it, then at least he could finally be rid of it. But when Mike really thinks about whose shoulders the blame should rest upon, the only name that springs to mind is his own.

    (After all, Will called him the heart, when he gave Mike the painting that El commissioned, the one with Mike standing front and centre, a fearless Paladin who’s more than ready to die for his friends. Paladins are known for their strength and unwavering loyalty. If there’s blame on offer, then Mike can take it. He has to be able to take this; it’s only what he deserves.)

    Or; a Mike Wheeler at the Quarry fic because I just couldn’t resist.
